Emergency nursing
University attendance is at the Peninsula campus. There are eight (8) study days per semester and these are usually conducted as one study day per fortnight.

Clinical placements
Students must engage in a minimum of three days per week paid employment in a Monash Health emergency department over the duration of the course. Students will need to progress through all areas of the department.

Course dates
The university offers an intake in February. Students should aim to begin employment in the ED prior to the commencement of their course, to allow for orientation processes.
The February intake takes 12 months to complete.
